In response to increasing incidents of alcohol poisoning, particularly due to illicit alcohol consumption, Gujarat authorities have ramped up efforts to curb the production and distribution of harmful beverages. This issue has been particularly prevalent in rural areas where people often turn to unregulated sources for cheap alcohol.
The police are intensifying raids and cooperating with other agencies to disrupt illegal alcohol trade networks.
With the state’s strict laws against alcohol, these illicit activities pose a serious public health risk. The government has emphasized the importance of awareness campaigns and regular inspections to prevent further incidents.
Authorities have also been working to strengthen border security to prevent the illegal import of toxic alcohol.
